The Stratford Festival is releasing its latest event cinema instalment, beginning with the “uncommonly delightful” (National Post) production of Romeo and Juliet – coming to select Cineplex theatres nationwide this Saturday, March 3.
Film director Barry Avrich and stage director Scott Wentworth bring fresh life to the beloved tale of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers in this “funny, moving, thrilling” production (National Post) of Romeo and Juliet, starring Antoine Yared and Sara Farb as the “youthful, impulsive, and vivacious” title characters (Toronto Star). Featuring “a perfect portrait of the Nurse from Seana McKenna” (The Globe and Mail), an “electric Mercutio” in Evan Buliung (National Post), and a “solid ensemble” (Toronto Star), this production is “captivating from start to finish” (Broadway World).
